Birthday and More Birthdays

Kory and I like to go to the Teton Grill, but we decided The Tomahawk--three pounds of meat--is a bit much for us....

Andy had her first birthday, a Moana-themed luau where we got to take pics with her and watch her demolish her first cake. She is walking and on the move and we love her so much.

Chloe liked playing with Leah's parents' dog--pretending she had one of her own.

Here is a shot of the paparazzi who were taking pics of Andy's every move on her birthday. What a loved baby!

A hilarious birthday present from my friend and coworker, Kristen. We both love the X Files.

Kory and I did a morningside for a Relief Society in Ammon and this mother daughter team explained how they had recorded some of his songs on a CD. The mom is suffering from cancer and only has a short time to live and his songs have meant a lot to them.

We have a little twelve-year-old in the house. Phoebe broke her in by doing some eyebrows and mascara on her. She wasn't sure what she thought of it and says she wants to wait to wear make-up. We took her to dinner at Red Robin and she had a Royal Red (the one with the egg on it).

We had our final concert for the semester for Institute Choir. We sang four songs about the Savior and were happy to share it at the temple visitor's center as well. Mckenzie sang with us and we loved it.

We were child-free for conference weekend, so we pretty much sat in bed and took notes for eight hours. What an amazing conference. Loved all of the inspired changes and counsel.

Lakyn is a proud home-owner now, so we gathered at her abode and helped put a fresh coat of paint on--at least some did, while others wrestled the little kids. Looks like Andy wants some of Ryker's cupcake.

Pie Face

Chloe had her tenth birthday and she asked for the game Pie Face. Yep, you've seen it. The one where everyone takes turns getting whipped cream in the face. Here are some precious moments. Chloe also got a little fort-making kit for her birthday, so we've had these structures in the family room for a few weeks now.

Kory's Story

I just wanted to record this for our family history. When Kory and I were engaged, we went to Salt Lake to talk with someone at CES to see about re-applying to teach seminary. At the time, they indicated that he could re-apply, but they didn't seem positive about the likelihood of him getting re-hired. At that time, we decided not to pursue teaching again. Later that year, CES announced that there was no longer any block on people who had been divorced teaching seminary. Again, we talked with some people, but still felt that the chances of him getting hired were not good, because he would not be able to move if necessary, which is usually the case with new hires. In Fall of 2015, Kory had a strong impression to check with the pre-service director and see what he would need to do to try teaching again. We still knew that the chances were not great, but he felt that he should pursue it. He began attending the class for pre-service seminary teachers, and was assigned to student te...

April 2023

April 2023 On April 1 and 2 we chilled and watched General Conference. On the first, we got a new cat to replace Todd. This cat’s name is Taco, she is a girl, and she’s a tortoiseshell calico. She and Binx have taken quite a while to warm up to each other, but I think we’ll get there. She is cuddly like Todd, so we all like that. On April 4 I watched Season 3 of The Mandalorian with my dad. On the 5 th , Kory and I took Austin and Leah to the Bee’s Knees for a birthday dinner. They have really great food there and it was fun to visit. On April 6, we had BYUI Graduation. It was fun to be there, since I’ve missed the past year due to my cancer. On the 7 th , Kory, me, and Caleb babysat for Austin and Leah. It was fun putting the kids to bed and singing with them. Stevie loves the song “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” so we sang that a bunch. On April 8, Kory and I went on a little date. We drove up to Driggs and had dinner at O’ Rourkes and then stopped and visited with m...
